er. Filled with jealousy and hate,
Campi was half crazy. Re fed into the
country, and only the mahout and POM

on run, and the elephant swiftly lift
ing his great feet and carrying the tip
of his trunk close to the ground, the
two pushed on through the darkness,
a'r presently Pompey screamed out in
anger. He had got the scent of the flee
ing man, and he increased his pace.
Half mile further on he swerved
aside, knocked down a couple OF rods Of
board fence, and entered a broad field.
Half way across it was shade-tree-a
maple with a trunk foot thick. In the
branches was Campi. He had heard
the sound of pursuit on the road and
had turned aside 10 seek safety-safety
from 4 father who had been rendered
childless by his hand, and from an ele-
phant who had nursed his wrath for a
month.
The great beast flung high his trunk
and stripped the branches down, but
Campi climbed higher. Then the trunk
was curled around the body of the'tree,
anG the Goliah braced himself and shook
it until no living creature could have
clung to its top. Campi came flying
down, shrieking his terror and despair
as he descended, and the next moment
Pompey had him. He raised him aloft
and whipped the hody against the tree
and earth, until we, who saw it an hour
later, beheld such shocking spectacle
as men seldom look upon. Ii was sim
ply bloody mass, with not one single
bone left unbroken. Thompson took
the body of his child and left us that
night forever. and before the season
closed Pompey had become so vicious
that he was sent TO winter quarters and
loaded down with chains.

what is Love I!

When time goes by with weary tread;
When sombre clouds my skies o'erspread
When sleep forsakes my anxious eyes,
And life is spent in ardent signs;
When day nor night no joy can give,
And only in her sight / live;
II this. in truth, be love,
Iknow not love.
Mine eyes still nightly close in sleep;
Still fellowship with joy keep;
Time still hies on with active tread;
Content eat my daily bread,
Nor waste my hours idly signing.
Nor at my lady's feet lie dying.
If this be foe to love,
have not loved.
But II IL be to kiss the hand
OF sweetest m alden in the land;
To think none half SO fair as she.
Though others are so fair-maybe,
No maiden heart so white and pure
AS hers, wherein rest secure;
If this, in truth, be love,
Then do love.
TO eager be to lead LIES van;
To prove myself to be man;
To strive, to toll, that / may be
All my dear love doth think ofme,
That when look in her sweet face
feel not shame, but added grace
That such sweet joy to Inc Is given;
A mortal, with fortaste OF heaven.
If this 1t be to love;
Then do / love.

We advise Ell young people to acquire
In early life the .asbit OF using good Ian.
guage, both In speaking and writing,
and also to abandon the use Of slang
words and pbrases. The longer they
live, the more difficult the acquisition Of
good language will be, and II the golden
age Of youth-tbe proper time for the
acquisition OF Iangaags--be passed in
Its abuse, the victim neg
lected education 10 very probably
doomed TO talk slang forlife. Money 10
not necessary to procure this education.
Every man has IL IUhIs power. He has
merely to use the language which you
read, instead Of tlbs slang which be
hears, to Iorm bis taste from the best
speakers and poets Of de cocntry; 70
treasure up choice phrases Ia bis sDeD-
Org, and bsbituate himself to their sss,
avoiding M the same time that pedantic
precision and bombast which show
rather the weakness Of vain ambition
than the polish OF an edScsted mind.

Law Points for Farmers

lie 1OllOWlnS cOUplldtlOu OF Dusl-
ness law contains the essence Of a large
amount of legal verbiage. We copy
from the New York Journal:
If note is lost or stolen, it loes no,
release the maker; he must pay IL, if
the consideration for which it was given
and the account can be proven.
Notes bear interest only when so
stated
Principals are responsible for the acts
of their agents. .t-..
Each individual in u partnership is
responsible for the whole amount of
debts of the firm, except in cases Of
special partnership. .t.....
Ignorance of the law excuses no one.
An agreement without consideration
is void; note made Oh Sunday is void
contracts made on sunday cannot be en-
forced.
A note made by a minor is void: !: u
contract made with Il minor is void; a
contract made with lunatic Is void.
a note obtained by fraud, or from a
person in state of intoxication, cannot
he collected.
1t is fraud 10 conceal Il fraud.
Signatures made with pencil are
good in law.
A receipt for money is not always con
! elusive.
"Value received" is usually written
in note, and should be, but it is not
necessary. If not written it is presumed
by the law, or may be supplied by the
proof.
The maker of an accommodation"
bill or note Zone for which he has re-
ceived no consideration, having lent
his name or credit for the accommoda-
ton OF the holder) is bound to all other
parties precisely as if there was e good
! consideration.
No consideration is sufficient in law
if it be illegal in its nature.
Checks or drafts should be presented
during business hours, but, in this coun-
try, except in the case of banks, the
time extends through the day and even
ing.
If the drawer OF a check or draft has
changed his residence, the holder must
use all reasonable diligence to find him.
If one holding checks as payee or 9TH
erwise transfers it to another, he has
right to insist that the check be present
ed that day, or at the farthest, the day
following.
A note indorsed in bank (the name OF
the indorser only written), is transfer
able by delivery, the same as If made
payable to bearer.
The time payment of a note must.
not depend upon a contingency. The
promise must be absolute.
The payee should be distinctly named
in the note, unless ii is payable to bear
er.
A bill may be written upon any paper
or substitute for it, either with ink or
pencil.
An indois see has right of action
! against all whose names were on the
/ bill when he received il.
If the letter containing protest of
non payment be put in tile postoffice,
any miscarriage does not affect the par
ty giving notice.
Notice to protest may be sent either
10 the place Of business or Of residence
/ of the party notified.
An oral agreement must be proved
by evidence. written agreement
proves itself. The law prefers written
I tooral,evidence, to because OF lis precision.

But the donkey. He seems to be omnip-
etent. Cunning little fellow, he is
worked so hard that he appears to have
forgotten his proverbial stubbornness,
and seems all submissive and obedient
to these Neapolitans. The greatest sur
prise to the stranger, however, is that
while the people make their donkeys
work, they seem to be continually afraid
to work themselves. They will pile
huge and heavy load on their two. wheel
carts and expect their poor little donkeys
not only to haul this load, but in addi-
tion to carry the owner, for almost in.
variably the driver will lay a piece of
carpet or blanket on top of his cart, be-
side the vegetables or stores inside,
mount thereon himself and let the poor
little donkey get along as best he can.
Then again, when the master does not
own cart or wagon, he will manage to
have the largest.sixed "panniers'' one
ever saw fastened to a long suffering
donkey. Not content with fastening the
full panniers on the beast, he overloads
them and then invites his wife and often
his numerous children to share his seat
upon the top of all, SO at last the poor
little donkey is almost hidden from
sight.
The donkey in the picture is lucky,
because his load is not half the average
size and his lot is cast in easy places, for
he has escaped the drudgery and ig-
nOniny of being harnesaed like a chill
